Dr. White is one of the best doctors I've ever had. He communicates so well. He's prepared, knows who I am. Answers my chart questions. His follow up notes are exceptional and much appreciated. He is easy to contact. Very grateful for his care.

I would like to thank Dr White and his entire team for their exceptional support. Without the expertise of this team - back to 2014, I am quite sure the quality of my life would be significantly changed. Thank you. I am extremely grateful. Mahalo and aloha.

Satisfied every visit

Dr. White spent a lot of time explaining my surgical procedure before and afterwards. I did have to remind his office to schedule a one year follow-up barium swallow post my surgery. I did so because I started having unusual acid reflux with occasional vomiting. Unfortunately, the surgical procedure failed after a year. I knew there were risks with surgery. I had hoped the hernia repair would have lasted longer than a year. Dr. White was candid and at the same time supportive while explaining options post the unsuccessful procedure. He was going to do a follow-up with me in six months to see how I was doing. I appreciated that.
